Sometimes these threads remind me of the skank who complains "you know, I've dated all 2,000 men on this naval base and not a single one of them called me for a second date. There's something wrong with all of them!"
If people hammer you over and over (and, might I say, over), it's probably a good idea to examine whether you're acting like a nail.

Yeah well I love that Cafe, and figure what are the chances of something happening bad there again, after what happened there in 2012???
That is a completely ignorant question. I hesitate to say it's stupid only because statistics are so horribly misused that it's almost excusable to nonthink that way (again, I won't say "think").
The chances now are exactly the same as before. You're acting as though somehow it's immunized for some period of time. How does that operate? How do the events of that day change the universe so that it is any more or less likely to recur? In fact, wasn't that even characterized as random? If it was random, how can it be influenced?
Actually, I'm only posting here in hopes that I won't see this go to the top of the pile in the Installers Forum.
